Safety precautions when working with scissors:

1. Keep the scissors in the case and out of reach of children;

2. When working, do not leave the scissors blades open;

3. Do not hold scissors with sharp sides up, and do not use them when the central fastener is weakened.

4. When working closely observe the direction of cutting. Do not cut in motion.

5. When working hold the material with your left hand so that the fingers are away from the blade.
